Challenge
A Century!
A drabble is a short work of fiction of precisely one hundred words in length.
It is a tricky piece of work but a fun challenge!
Write a drabble that revolves around eyes or even better eye colour!
A musky brown that reminds you of a beach or the cold, grey eyes which are emotionless? Anything is welcomed here!
Just remember that it should be of 100 words; 90 at the minimum. Maximum is a 100.
Eyes
The knock startled me from my solitary supper. I rose and peered outside. On my doorstep stood a slight woman with a cloak wrapped tightly around her to ward off the rain. Under the shelter of the awning, she pushed back her cowl, allowing me to see her eyes. They were a rich mahogany, eyes which had seen and survived a century's worth of hurt, eyes which drew you in, not solely because of their beauty, but also because of the depth of knowledge within.
I quarreled with myself, desperately wanting both to show her in and leave her out.
